A charming three-bedroom, three-storey Victorian end-terrace with generous living space and period stone detailing. The large dual-aspect living/dining room, complete with a Portland stone fireplace and French doors, creates a bright central hub for family life. An attached garage/workshop with power and parking adds practical value for storage, hobbies or secure parking.
Arranged over three floors, the layout offers flexible accommodation — a ground-floor bedroom/office and a useful downstairs shower room, with two double bedrooms on the upper floors and a large third-floor bedroom that gives loft access. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for buyers wanting a relatively quick move. Broadband and mobile signals are reported strong, and mains gas central heating is installed.
Buyers should note this is a modest plot in a very deprived, ageing urban area of Portland, and the building is an older, pre-1900 stone construction assumed to have no wall insulation. The property will suit purchasers willing to carry out some updating and targeted improvements (insulation, possible energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation) to improve comfort and running costs.
This house is best for families or buyers seeking a characterful, workable home with garage space and garden potential, and for those prepared to invest modestly to modernise. Council tax is very low, and there is no flood risk, but buyers should check structural, services and legal details as provided by their advisers.
